app: Add example of VERSION file tracking git index file #92
Conversation
Adds an example of how to add the git index file (if this is inside of a git repo) to the dependencies of the application version file, which allows the git commit of the application version to be updated as new commits are added Signed-off-by: Jamie McCrae <jamie.mccrae@nordicsemi.no>

Neat. I wonder if this could somehow be added as a hook in the main Zephyr repo?
It was added with one originally but Torsten did not like introducing a git dependency on application repos: zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr#98210 (comment) |

Using upper case and _ makes APPLICATION_BUILD_VERSION looks like it's referring to a CMake var, which doesn't seem the case, so can be a bit misleading / confusing.
What's the reason for APPLICATION_BUILD_VERSION: first, or could there be another option ?
